Festive Fun

Navigation

New dates for the 2018 weekend have yet to be announced.

2017 event - 16 & 17 December

Four large craft stalls filled the Town Square - with goods on sale from fudge, scarves and accessories, flowers and ornaments, to handmade bags and garden features.

Santa's animals visited - visitors could meet the less well known of the Christmas menagerie; bunnies, goats, sheep and guinea pigs! You could get a glitter tattoo or an amazing balloon creation - or meet the cheekiest elves Whizzy Rascals. Crazy Crackers were there on Saturday only.

Lennie the land train helped take the weight off - offering a free lift up and down the town centre.

Free parking was offered in Hatfield and Herschel car parks.

Christmas lights switch on

18 November 2017

Town Square, High Street, Slough

We kicked off the festive season with an afternoon of fun, fireworks, music and dancing at the Slough Christmas lights switch on event! And all for FREE!

Visitors were in with a chance of winning loads of prizes including the star prize of a basket full of goodies!

Singing and dancing galore took place on stage from 1pm with the timetable of acts shown below.
Giveaways, competitions and much more.

Santa joined the fun on stage for the five o'clock switch on, the winner of the big basket of goodies was chosen and the lights were switched on, as the sky lit up with fireworks and 'snow' tumbled through the air!

There was music, dance, free workshops and street performers in association with HOME Slough.

Be our star!

All you had to do to be in with a chance of winning the massive basket of goodies was go to the Christmas lights switch on, collect a lucky raffle ticket and be in the Town Square at 4.40pm when the raffle was drawn!
